l. Primarily the Unkowable moved
upon cosmos and evolved prot oplasm.
2. And protoplasm was inorganic
and undiiferentiated. containing all
things in potential energy; and a spirit
of evolution moved upon the iluid
nia-s.
q. And the unknowable said: let
atoms attract; and tleircontact be.at
light. heat and electricity.
I. And the 'nconditioned diiieren-
tiated the atoms. each after its kind
and their combinat ions begat air and
water.
!. And there went out n spirit Of
evolution from the unconditional
and working in protoplasm. by acre-
ton and absorption produced the
organic cell.
q. And cell 10y nutrition evolved
primOrlial germ and developed pro-
tOgene; and protOsene bssit cocoon.
and cocoon btgat mOnad and monad
begat animalcule.
:. And animalculc begat ephemera;
then began creeping things to multiply
ON the face of the earth.
=. And earthly atoms in vegetable
"s's
thence came all grass and every herb
Of the earth.
-. And aninlalcule in the water
evolved fins. tails. claws, and scales;
and in the air wings and beaks; and
on the land they sprouted such organs
as were necessary a. played upon by
the environment.
10. And by accretiOn and absorb
ton came the radiata and mollusca,
and mollusca begat articulata, and
artmulata begat vertebrate.
II. Now these are the generations,
OF the higher vertebrate, in the cosmic
period that the Cnknowable evolute'l

~. And every man Of the earth.
while he was yet n monkey, and the
horse while he was Riparian, and
the Riparian before he was an OredOn.
Is. Out of the ascidian came the
amphibian and begat the pentadac-
lyle; and the pent adactylc by inherit
ane and selection produced the hylO-
bate. from which are the siniiad,r in
all their tribes.
IL. And out Of the Siiniatl,r the
lemur prevailed above his fellows and
produced the platyrrhine monkey.
And the platyrrliine bcgat the catar-

ape, and the ape lsgst the lOnginlan-
Gus Orang, and the Orang beg'It the
chimpanzee, and the chimpanzee cvo-

rs. And the what-is-it went into
the land Of Nod and took him a wife

II. And in process of the cOsnlic
period were born unto them and their
children the anthrOpomorphic primer

thus, the trOgloslyte, the auiOchthu,
the terragen these are the genera
tiOns of primeval man.
10. And primeval man was naked
and not ashamed but lived in quad
rumanOus innocence, and struggled
nightly to harmonic with the envi-
rOnment.
20. And by Inheritance and natur-
nj selection did he progress from the
stable and Homogeneous to the COM
pick and heterOgeneOus--fOr the weak
est died and the strongest grew and
multiplied.
81. And man grew thumb for
that he had need Of it, and developed
capacities for prey.
%. For behold the swiftest men
caught the most animals, and the
swiftest animals got away from the
most men; wherefore the slow animals
we're eaten and the slow men starved
to death.
23. And as types were differentia-
ted the weaker types continually dis
appeared.
-. And the earth was filled with
violence, for man sirOve with man.
and tribe with tribe. whereby they
